Jane Kelly: RIP humour, strangled by the sisterhood

/ Mike Buchanan

An interesting piece on TCW. Of course the funniest thing on the BBC these days is Dad’s Army, filmed over half a century ago. Why does the BBC continue to broadcast it, when it has so many alternative options? Maybe because the humourless harridans at the BBC enjoy the sight of men being buffoons?

One thought on “Jane Kelly: RIP humour, strangled by the sisterhood”

  1. Quite. Mrs. Pike in the show wasn’t a buffoon. On the other hand, she had no character at all, living up to Alexander Pope’s famous quip about women.
